THREE AMERICAN GIRLS : GRACE,JACKIE AND I

We were three American girls,ambitious and determined to reach the top.Grace Kelly is the luckiest, born into a rich family,went to Hollywood to check things out,won the leading part of High Noon,and the Oscar for best actress,like that, on her first nomination ! Off she goes to the French Riviera to rest and some fresh air,met,fell in love and marry Prince Rainier .Love at first sight,can you imagine ? The little girl from Philadelphia became S.A.S Princess Grace of Monaco overnight.

Jacqueline Lee Bouvier ,the woman I admired and hated.After Vassar,bought a camera to meet people and work al fresco,street photography, they call it.Met young Senator of Massachusetts,set her mind and before he knew it,married him .Became First Lady. Et voila !.

I am not taking anything away from La Femme Jackie,the woman  is smart,a go-getter,was,is and will always be the greatest First Lady in American history.

She was a courtisane, when in Paris did as the French do. 

---For me France is the country of Courage, Culture and Cuisine . It 'S hard to dislIke her after she said that on  TV ,and in French if you please !

When in Europe with the President she wore Chanel by day,Givenchy by night.Upon leaving Paris President Kennedy introduced himself to the World Press :

--- Now you all know me, I am the man who accompanied Jackie on her trip to Paris

I am not taking anything away from her,had John Kennedy had his eight years he would have achieved a lot for   America's popularity around the world and for World Peace.She was the woman behind the Kennedy legend.
